15 Most Hotly Anticipated New TV Shows Still To Come In 2017

9. The Terror

The Terror
AMC

AMC has been the home for some of the biggest and best dramas of the last 10 years or so, from Breaking Bad to Better Call Saul, and Mad Men to The Walking Dead, and while hoping for similar success would put unfair pressure on The Terror, there's at least reason to believe it'll be of a certain quality.

They've definitely assembled a cast to reflect that: Mad Men's Jared Harris tops the bill, and is joined by Games of Thrones' Ciaran Hinds and Tobias Menzies. The series itself is based on the eponymous novel by Dan Simmons, which gives a fictionalised account of Captain Sir John Franklin's lost expedition to the Arctic.

Set in 1847, it sees the ship and crew - on an expedition searching for the Northwest Passage - stalked by a mysterious creature, leading to a desperate and suspenseful battle for survival.
